In addition, the slide blocks 334 and 332 are driven by a link (not shown).
[0047] Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the point cut-off device 4 includes a blade seat 480, a point cut-off blade 496, and two press plates 490.
[0048] The blade seat 480 has one side formed with multiple through holes 481, a top end formed with multiple screw bores 482, a bottom end formed with multiple spring support seats 483 and provided with a protruding fixing step 484. The fixing step 484 has one side formed with multiple screw bores 485.
[0049] The point cut-off blade 496 has a top formed with multiple through holes 499 aligning with the multiple screw bores 485 of the fixing step 484 of the blade seat 480. The point cut-off blade 496 is formed with multiple recesses facing upward, thereby forming multiple step portions 497. The point cut-off blade 496 is formed with multiple slots 498 aligning with the multiple spring support seats 483 of the blade seat 480 for mounting multiple springs 487.
[0050] Each of the two press plates 490 has a bottom provided with a press bar 491. One of the two press plates 490 has a top formed with multiple through holes 492 aligning with the multiple step portions 497 of the point cut-off blade 496, and the other press plate 490 has a top formed with multiple screw bores 493 aligning with the multiple step portions 497 of the point cut-off blade 496.
[0051] In assembly, the point cut-off blade 496 is secured on the fixing step 484 of the blade seat 480 by multiple screws 488 which in turn extend through the multiple through holes 499 of the point cut-off blade 496 and the multiple screw bores 485 of the fixing step 484 of the blade seat 480 as shown in FIG. 10A. Each of the springs 487 is mounted in each of the slots 498 of the point cut-off blade 496, and is mounted in each of the multiple spring support seats 483 of the blade seat 480. The point cut-off device 4 further includes multiple screws 486 each screwed into each of the screw bores 482 of the blade seat 480 and each urged on the top of each of the springs 487 as shown in FIG. 11.
[0052] Each of the two press plate 490 is mounted on the point cut-off blade 496 by multiple screws 495 which in turn extend through the multiple through holes 492 of one press plate 490 and multiple sleeves 494, and are screwed into the screw bores 493 of the other press plate 490. The multiple sleeves 494 are rested on the multiple step portions 497 of the point cut-off blade 496. The bottom of each of the springs 487 is rested on the top end of each of the two press plate 490.
[0053] Referring to FIG. 12, the blade seat 480 is secured on a drive seat 489 between two opposite drive bars 488A of the seal cutter 1 by multiple screws which are extended through the through holes 481 of the blade seat 480, and are screwed into the drive seat 489. Thus, when the drive seat 489 is lifted, the two press plates 490 are pushed by the springs 487, so that the point cut-off blade 496 is received between the two press plates 490. At the same time, the multiple step portions 497 of the point cut-off blade 496 are retained by the sleeves 494 between the two press plates 490, so that the point cut-off blade 496 is retained between the two press plates 490.
[0054] Referring to FIG. 13, when the drive seat 489 is lowered, the two press plates 490 and the drive seat 489 are moved downward until the two press plates 490 press the plastic bag 100 on the lower mold seat 4900. When the drive seat 489 is lowered continuously, the two press plates 490 are stopped by the lower mold seat 4900, and the point cut-off blade 496 is continuously moved downward by the drive seat 489 into a lower mold recess 4901 as shown in FIG. 14, so that the point cut-off blade 496 may point cut-off the plastic bag 100 in a flush manner. At the same time, the springs 487 are compressed between the two press plates 490 and the blade seat 480 as shown in FIG. 14, so that the plastic bag 100 may be pressed by the two press plates 490 tightly. The screws 486 mounted on the blade seat 480 may be used to adjust the tension of the springs 487, so as to adjust the point cut-off effect of the point cut-off blade 496.
[0055] Referring to FIG. 15, when the drive seat 489 is lifted, the point cut-off blade 496 is moved upward with the drive seat 489 to detach from the plastic bag 100, while the two press plates 490 are still pushed by the springs 487 to press the plastic bag 100. When the multiple step portions 497 of the point cut-off blade 496 are in contact with the sleeves 494 between the two press plates 490, the two press plates 490 may be lifted by the point cut-off blade 496 to the original position as shown in FIG. 12.
[0056] Referring to FIGS. 16 and 17, the tension control device 611 includes a fixed roller set 612, a movable roller set 613, and a chain set 620.
[0057] The fixed roller set 612 includes two opposite fixed plates, and multiple rollers 6120 mounted between the two fixed plates. Each of the two fixed plates of the fixed roller set 612 is formed with multiple slots 6121 each located between any two adjacent rollers 6120. Each of the two fixed plates of the fixed roller set 612 has a front end pivoted with a hanging hook 6122.
[0058] The movable roller set 613 includes two opposite fixed plates, and multiple rollers 6130 mounted between the two fixed plates. Each of the two fixed plates of the movable roller set 613 is slidably mounted on one of two guide rods 614. Each of the two guide rods 614 has a bottom provided with a buffer device 6140.
[0059] The chain set 620 is mounted on each of the two sides of the fixed roller set 612 and the movable roller set 613, and includes multiple sprockets 621 mounted on four corners, a chain mounted on the multiple sprockets 621 and having two ends respectively secured on each of the two fixed plates of the movable roller set 613, and at least one tension sprocket 622 mounted beside one of the sprocket 621 for adjusting the tension of the chain of the chain set 620. In addition, the chain set 620 further includes a sprocket 623 secured on a fixed shaft of one of the sprockets 621, a chain 624 mounted on the sprocket 23, a sprocket 625 mounted on the chain 624, and a rotation handle 626 mounted on the sprocket 625 for rotating the sprocket 625.
[0060] In operation, the rotation handle 626 may be used for rotating the sprocket 625 to rotate the sprocket 623 by the chain 624, thereby rotating the sprocket 621, so as to move the chain set 620, so that the movable roller set 613 may be lifted by guidance of the guide rods 614. Thus, the rollers 6130 of the movable roller set 613 may be inserted into the slots 6121 between the rollers 6120 of the fixed roller set 612, and the rollers 6130 of the movable roller set 613 are located above the rollers 6120 of the fixed roller set 612. The movable roller set 613 will not fall down by hooking of the hanging hook 6122. Thus, the plastic bag 100 may be passed between the rollers 6130 of the movable roller set 613 and the rollers 6120 of the fixed roller set 612, and may be guided by multiple rollers of a winder into the coreless winding device 7. Then, the hanging hook 6122 may be released, so that the movable roller set 613 may be lowered, and the rollers 6130 of the movable roller set 613 may pull the plastic bag 100 downward. Thus, the rollers 6130 of the movable roller set 613 and the rollers 6120 of the fixed roller set 612 may co-operate to pull the plastic bag 100 to maintain a predetermined tension for being wound into a scroll. In addition, the chain set 620 further includes two guide rails 627, and a connecting rod 628 mounted between the two guide rails 627 for connecting the chains of the chain set 620.
[0061] Referring to FIGS. 18 and 19, the coreless winding device 7 includes a piston rod structure 75 including an outer tube 752, and a gas pressure cylinder 751 mounted on a rear end of the outer tube 752. The gas pressure cylinder 751 has a front end secured with a bearing disk 7512. The bearing disk 7512 is provided with a locking screw 7514 protruding outward from an oblong hole 7521 formed in the outer tube 752. The gas pressure cylinder 751 has a gas pressure rod 7511 extended into the outer tube 752 through a bearing hole 7513 in the bearing disk 7512, and pivotally connected with a first end of a sleeve 753 which has a second end formed with an elongated through hole 7531. The piston rod structure 75 of the coreless winding device 7 further includes an inner tube 755 mounted in the bearing hole 7513 and the outer tube 752 for receiving the gas pressure rod 7511, two opposite piston rods 754 mounted in the inner tube 755 and protruding outward from an elongated through hole 7551 formed in the inner tube 755. One of the two piston rods 754 is fixed, and the other piston rod 754 is movable. The two opposite piston rods 754 are pivotally connected by pivot plates. The movable piston rod 754 has a distal end received in the elongated through hole 7531 of the sleeve 753. The inner tube 755 has an outer wall provided with a gear 756. The outer tube 752 has a wall formed with a through hole 757 for passage of a drive belt 758 which meshes with the gear 756.
[0062] Referring to FIG. 20, the coreless winding device 7 further includes a clamping structure 76 including two shafts 762 each mounted on a support base and each having two ends each provided with a gear 761, two inverted U-shaped clips 763 each mounted on one of the two shafts 761, two gas pressure cylinders 764 each pivotally mounted on the support base and each pivotally mounted on the gear 761 of one of the two shafts 761, and a gas pressure cylinder 765 mounted on a bottom of the support base for lifting the support base. One of the two inverted U-shaped clips 763 is provided with two opposite small gas pressure cylinders 766 each having a gas pressure rod for driving a drive bar 767 (see FIG. 20A) pivotally mounted on a side portion to rotate relatively.
[0063] Referring to FIG. 21, the piston rods 754 of the piston rod structure 75 may be moved reciprocally by the gas pressure cylinder 751. When the gas pressure cylinder 751 is retracted, the movable piston rod 754 may be pulled by the gas pressure cylinder 751 through the sleeve 753, so that the movable piston rod 754 may be moved toward the fixed piston rod 754, thereby forming a closed state. In addition, a gap is defined between the movable piston rod 754 and the fixed piston rod 754. When the gas pressure cylinder 751 is pushed forward, the two piston rods 754 are juxtaposed, thereby forming an opened state. When the gear 756 in the inner tube 755 is driven by the drive belt 758, the two piston rods 754 may be rotated by limit of the elongated through hole 7551 of the inner tube 755, and mounting of the sleeve 753 may maintain the fixed state of the gas pressure cylinder 751. In addition, when the locking screw 7514 of the bearing disk 7512 is unscrewed from the oblong hole 7521 of the outer tube 752, the bearing disk 7512 may be pushed to drive the gas pressure cylinder 751 to move relative to the outer tube 752, thereby changing and adjusting the distance between the two sets of opposite piston rod structures 75, so as to fit the width of the plastic bag 100. Further, the two gas pressure cylinders 764 of the clamping structure 76 may be moved to rotate the two gears 761, so that the two inverted U-shaped clips 763 may be pivoted to perform the clamping and releasing actions.
[0064] Accordingly, the plastic bag may be formed with a three-folding-layer shape by the folding device 2. Then, the rotation handle 626 may be used for rotating the sprocket 625 to rotate the sprocket 623 by the chain 624, thereby rotating the sprocket 621, so as to move the chain set 620, so that the movable roller set 613 may be lifted by guidance of the guide rods 614, and the rollers 6130 of the movable roller set 613 may be located above the rollers 6120 of the fixed roller set 612, thereby facilitating passage of the plastic bag 100.
[0065] In addition, the plastic bag 100 in the tension control zone is pulled by the clamping structure 76 to move downward to the lower portion of the piston rod structure 75, so that the two piston rods 754 of the piston rod structure 75 mounted on each of the two sides of the seal cutter 1 may be protruded outward with the plastic bag 100 being located between the two piston rods 754 of the piston rod structure 75. Then, the two piston rods 754 of the piston rod structure 75 may be rotated by the inner tube 755 driven by a motor, so as to wind the plastic bag 100. After the plastic bag 100 has been wound, rotation of the two piston rods 754 of the piston rod structure 75 may be stopped by the motor, and the plastic bag 100 may be clamped by the clamping structure 76. The two drive bars 767 may be driven by the two opposite small gas pressure cylinders 766 to clamp the point cut-off positions of the plastic bag 100, thereby separating the plastic bag 100.
